Zernike Polynomials and Beyond

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We discuss why we use Zernike circle polynomials in optics, when to use them, and what to use in their place when not to use them. We illustrate by estimating an annular Seidel aberration function with the circle and annular orthonormal polynomials.
